Currently when you select the "Issuu filefield as pageflip" display formatter for a field on a node it just displays the flash viewer. This works great, but if you are viewing the node on a device without flash support (like an iPad or iPhone) there is no way to get to the document.

My solution was to add an addition display formatter that has a link to the actual PDF file below the flash pageflip viewer. I have attached the patch that adds this formatter for review.

  • Please use theme('issuu_formatter_ffpageflip') instead.
  • issuu not only accepts PDF files, so the text should be a little more general.
  • Probably we want to use one of the filefield theme functions instead of showing it directly, so we re-use code.
  • Let's also see if issuu provides a way to do this graceful degradation.
  • It will also be great if a general way to do this will be available on the main widget, and better if it could be added to d7 version first.

  • Maybe we just need to change the approach to use the text shown on embed code when it is not shown, and add an option that let's choose if we should add that behavior.
